The primary objective of this study is to investigate the uptake/gastrointestinal absorption of fatty acids in healthy adult volunteers by using enteric coated and non-enteric coated soft capsules containing omega 3 fatty acids. Pharmacokinetic parameters such as AUC and Cmax, as well as any adverse events are recorded.
As secondary objective, the short-term effects of Omega-3 supplementation on blood lipid parameters in healthy volunteers are evaluated using a Cholestech LDX analyzer to measure cholesterol and related lipids.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| RxOmega-3 soft gels (Enteric) | Experimental | Each participant receives their treatment of RxOmega-3 soft gel (Enteric) capsules at a total dose of 1260 mg Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Treatments are consumed with a glass of water (approx. 200 mL), followed by a standardized breakfast (diet-controlled condition). Capillary whole blood samples are collected at time points 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours. Participants are asked to arrive after an overnight fast (at least 9hrs). Each participant acts as their own control; there is no separate control group. A washout period of at least 14 days between each treatment will be used. Adverse events are recorded throughout the study by direct questioning. |
